ODE

Features
Read full description

The ODESolverIntegrator is a simple but elegant app to find the integral of ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) nonlinear ODEs. You can reduce the higher order ODE to a set of first order ODEs. You can solve (find the integral of) linear ODEs in the form of ẋ = Ax + Bu; y = Cx + Du. This app uses Runge-Kutta 4th order algorithm to solve the ODEs. Once the ODEs are solved, a beautiful interactive graph for each ODE's is created that you can share with other or save it locally. The reduced ODE's equations are presented beautifully in the math-equation format. You can compute definite integral (single, double, tripple). It uses the midpoint method. It automatically saves your hard work locally on your device so you can come back and pick up from where you left off as your great effort will not be lost. This app also has a Study page to help you learn important integration rules like, power rule, product rule, ect. This app is perfect for students learning calculus. Sharpen you brain by using this app and learning about the calculus. This is an app for all student groups. From high school to college to university students. Be creative. Enjoy the app!

Drag the curve. Shade a region. Watch probability respond. Distributions is a modern statistics study tool for students, educators, and anyone who wants to feel how probability distributions behave—not just memorize formulas. EXPLORE 41 DISTRIBUTIONS Browse discrete and continuous families with interactive PDF/PMF and CDF charts, live parameter sliders, descriptive statistics, examples, and random sampling. Search, favorites, recents, and side-by-side comparison keep the catalog usable on iPhone and iPad. TOUCH THE MATH Drag parameters on the chart and see the shape move. Turn on Probability mode to shade continuous regions or select discrete values and read the probability instantly. Typeset formulas stay linked to the live parameters. LEARN DEEPER Practice with Guess-the-Distribution quizzes, walk a relationship map between families, look up a searchable glossary, and check live z, t, and χ² critical values—all offline. ON-DEVICE AI (APPLE INTELLIGENCE) Ask the Distribution Advisor to suggest a distribution from a scenario, tap Explain for contextual teaching prompts, and optionally mix AI-generated quiz questions. AI output is labeled and advisory; exact probabilities and quantiles always come from the app’s calculator. When Apple Intelligence is unavailable, Explain and quizzes use built-in content and the Advisor tells you why it’s unavailable—everything else works the same. No accounts. No tracking. No third-party AI services. FIT MY DATA Paste or import a dataset, estimate candidate distributions, rank goodness of fit, inspect histogram and Q–Q overlays, and export reports. ONE-TIME PURCHASE Distributions is a paid app. One purchase includes all 41 distributions, interactive charts, calculators, Fit My Data, saved parameter sets, every quiz mode, exports, and unlimited on-device Advisor use. No subscriptions. No in-app purchases. No ads. Privacy-first by design: your exploration stays on your device.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: ODE at Free against Distributions's $4.99. ODE also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Distributions's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
